Buy the ticket, take the ride 💜✨ Friday I was at home in my robe in SLC when I decided to book a flight to Miami w/no concert ticket & nowhere to stay. Money & miles come & go, but I’ll remember this weekend forever. #NoRegrets #ErasTour #TaylorSwift #Miami

These sentences are stacked consecutively, guaranteeing several survivors at least 8 years w/their perpetrator behind bars. When we started investigating him in 2022, we found crimes against women & girls spanning a decade, but no prison time. Local journalism matters. @KSL5TV
BREAKING UPDATE: 10 years after another victim of Joshua Homer was sexually assaulted, he takes a plea deal - attempted rape - and is sentenced to 3yrs to life. 1 week after his 5yrs to life sentence for rape x3 in a different case. @KSLInvestigates @KSL5TV @DaniellaKSL

Loads of deadly drugs are traveling to & through Utah on I-15 every day. Tonight @KSLInvestigates will show you an up close, inside look at the effort to stop & seize those shipments before they hit our communities. Watch The Fentanyl Freeway on @KSL5TV at 10:

In @KSL5TV's coverage of bills attacking government transparency, including one from Sen. President Stuart Adams, we asked what his message is to voters. His response: "Come to media availability" Important context: Only credentialed media are allowed. bit.ly/48mVVMw

Utah’s AG is under intense scrutiny these days for his close ties to an embattled charity, and for his globetrotting uncovered by @sltrib. Our team has been fighting for some time to get a copy of his schedule, and now his office is taking us to court to try to keep it secret

My latest work. A🧵:
They report to police. They get a rape kit. There's DNA. They do seemingly everything Utah's criminal justice system asks of survivors of sexual assault. So why can't their cases be prosecuted? It's a question @NewsKeira I have been asking for months: ksltv.com/545226/the-challen…

Once I lose this blue check mark, it’s going to be really tempting to just use this account to tweet about the ridiculous reality dating shows I like to watch to turn my brain off after work 🧠 📺 🤷🏻‍♀️ News tweets & my latest investigations can still be found here: @DaniellaKSL

Sharing some recent reporting here today because we’ve been working hard & I’m proud of it. Here’s a thread detailing reporting on concerns over the accuracy of court-ordered drug test results in Utah’s child welfare system & what’s changed since we started asking questions:
Impacts following @KSLInvestigates reporting on claims of inaccurate drug test results: 🔹 A couple has custody of their kids again 🔹 DCFS is contracting w/a different testing provider 🔹 DCFS is auditing complaints related to drug testing ksltv.com/532175/utahs-dcfs-… @KSL5TV

Awe thank you for the tag! Seeing all the Iditarod posts has me missing Alaska big time this weekend 💗
Whew! Another successful #trailgate for the #Iditarod ceremonial start. Baby’s first Iditarod! Had a mardi gras theme this year (Iditagras). Missed @RiveraDanie covering our shenanigans! Good luck to all the mushers!

What we do as journalists matter. How we do it matters even more. Our industry, as a whole, can do better for families. Thank you, @GMA. @wfaa @aaja @NPPA @WFAADaybreak #MontereyPark

Love this take 👏🏽 I started making $20,800/yr in 2014. My dad filled my gas tank for me often & paid unexpected medical bills so I could make rent. I was lucky to have that help. Many people don’t. I was worth more than poverty then, & so is every journalist starting now 🫶🏼
Young broadcasters: PLEASE know your worth. And PLEASE ignore everything this veteran broadcaster says here. “Paying your dues” is a form of industry-wide hazing that old TV folks perpetuate. It’s usually the veterans with ego problems. You are worth more than poverty.

After our #Southwest flights home got cancelled, we didn’t want to drive 2hrs to the airport to stand in a massive line & maybe get a flight in a few days, so we’re roadtripping! 🙃 Today is also 3yrs married for us. My husband is calling this a “romantic anniversary roadtrip”

“Please go home” Ooof. We are trying! For many of us, a @SouthwestAir plane was our ride home 🙈
Here is the video of the intercom announcement. Speaker says staffing issues have led to the cancelation of 90% of Sky Harbor Southwest flights. They say they cannot get anyone out for the next 4 days.

Flights home are cancelled with no explanation, can’t get anyone on the phone & the app won’t let us rebook. Seeing videos of ridiculously long lines at airports of people trying to get in front of a person who can help. @SouthwestAir has some explaining to do.

The “select new flight” option brings up an error message. The winter storm banner is still there, but I don’t feel like weather is the issue… #southwestAir
